Earlier this month I made two decisions about the
newsletter that you may have noticed:
- I got rid of the “Quick Hits” section (which was mostly my own content) in favor of a 300-500 word section on some top-of-mind topic.
- I added a monthly digest of all the content I put out during the month, sent on the last weekday of the month.
The two are related. I still want a way to let my
newsletter subscribers know about the content I’ve put out, in case they missed it. But it also serves 2 other purposes:
- It allows me to promote the month’s podcast episodes one more time.
- The sponsors get one more mention in the newsletter each month.
After putting it together manually, I knew there had to be a better way, so I built version one of a
Monthly Digest Engine, designed to aggregate and format all of my links, which I can then add to
ConvertKit.
Here’s how I built it.

What is Streamlined Solopreneur: Systems for Overwhelmed Coaches, Consultants, and Service Providers Who Want Their Time Back?
Overwhelmed? Feel like your business can't run for a day without you? You're not alone — and it's not because you're bad at this.
Whether you coach, consult, or run a service business, when you're solo, everything ends up depending on you. You're the only one who can do the work, answer the email, keep the plates spinning. So you're on the hook every day: nights, weekends, even the vacations you do manage to take. The overwhelm never really lifts.
But being a solopreneur doesn't have to mean doing it all yourself. With the right systems, and AI doing the tasks, not the thinking, parts of your business can run without you. That's what buys back your time and gives you the freedom to take a real break...and the freedom to do the work you actually want instead of the work you feel stuck doing.
Joe Casabona learned this the hard way. He went from so overwhelmed he had a panic attack to taking 4–6 weeks off a year, worry-free, and he's helped hundreds of solopreneurs build systems that give them their time back.
Every week, one clear idea to help you beat overwhelm and build a business that doesn't depend on you. Start listening, then grab the free newsletter at https://streamlinedsolopreneur.com.
